Suns @ Lakers Monday game thread 2-10-20

[Mainstreet]

Suns play at the Lakers on Monday before returning home to play the Warriors on Wednesday.

Lakers (39-12) beat the Warriors on Saturday 125-120.

Suns (21-32) are hoping to bounce back after their loss to the Nuggets but this will be a tough game to do it.

The game will be televised on FSAZ.

Start time is 8:30 p.m. MST (Arizona time).

Deandre Ayton (ankle soreness) is questionable for the Lakers game.

Deandre Ayton (ankle soreness) is listed as questionable to play tomorrow at the Lakers. Monty Williams mentioned after last night’s loss to Denver that Ayton had tweaked his ankle during the game but played through it. Saric, Baynes, Tyler Johnson and Kaminsky remain out #Suns

This team desperately needs a new training staff.

Only hope is the Lakers rest Anthony Davis and Lebron.

No injury updates until later.

PSA: The #Suns canceled this morning’s shootaround in LA. So any official comments (or no-comments) regarding sore ankles or player waivings will not come until pregame availability.

This team desperately needs a new training staff.

Is this a reference to Ayton? How would that have prevented him from rolling his ankle against the Nuggets? Or how would they make Frank's bone heal faster?

The weird one to me is Baynes, no idea what is so wrong with him, but I think blaming a "training staff" is just taking blind shots at an easy target. What should they be doing differently?

Ill be hoping but definitely not expecting a close one here.... especially if ayton is out lol

Hoping for the best go suns ..... fingers crossed this wont be a epic blowout at worst

Rockets won with small ball but we dont have a PJ Tucker

Jevon Carter is kind of a mini-Tucker. If we're going to get blown out anyway why not play Rubio, Booker, Bridges and Oubre with Carter at the 5. If nothing else it should be worth a few laughs.

Has this team not suffered a disproportionate amount of injuries this year? The Suns let Aaron Nelson go and brought in an unproven and inexperienced training staff. Do you think this is not related?

Don't want to be Diallo in this game going up against the unabrow and floppity flop and the refs with no backup. Who do we have left? Oubre, Bridges as our bigs to go with three guards? I think I'll forfeit.

maybe we can request a running clock tonight, js

Prepare to watch Tariq Owens.

The actual injury isn’t always preventable but I am starting to question the rehab aspect.

Diallo will start with Ayton out.

Monty Williams says during his pregame availability that Deandre Ayton (ankle soreness) will not play tonight at the Lakers. Cheick Diallo will start, and several small-ball lineups will follow. #Suns.

Man if there is one game this season not worth watching, it’s gotta be this one.

 

[Mainstreet]

As I thought, Tariq Owens is with the Sun. Go Tariq!

Ayton needs to get rid of Puma. Bad ankle support

 

[TJ]

Sorry, guys. You’re on your own watching this game tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam will start and Oubre will come off the bench. Interesting.

Quick. Lock the door. No fans can leave.

 

[Mainstreet]

Hmm. Oubre not warming up? I guess he is now.
